THE NORTH FACE Borealis Commuter Laptop Backpack | Water Repellent Finish, 16" Laptop Sleeve, Large Main Compartment for Everyday Carry, TNF Black/TNF Black-NPF, One Size

Bought this for my daughter. She has used it for traveling a few times so far. Plans to use it for school this year. So far it has held up very well. It has great storage capacity and has held everything she needed as a carryon for our flights. Straps are adjustable and fit well. It was a little pricy but if it holds up for years it will be well worth it.

now i’ve been searching for good backpacks, even looking into bellroy and aer (although i feel like they’re too much just for my application— highschool) and i decided on this backpack. i would say that this is honestly a great option for college and high school. it’s very well made with quality YKK zips, comfortable breathable padding and a waterproof exterior for rainy weather.now there’s a separate sorta fleece lined 16 inch laptop sleeve, which coming from a north face jester was an amazing improvement (the jester had the laptop sleeve in the main compartment). and there’s a main compartment for books and binders, and lastly an admin pocket with a hidden compartment just above the bungee straps. the main compartment holds a decent amount although not too much (i personally put two 1 inch binders and a few books and journals) and the admin pocket is very organized and has a fleece lined tablet pouch to keep your belongings protected from scratches and whatnot.i could see people putting their kindles here or phones, etc. now there is a fleece lined “hidden” pocket that i previously mentioned and i use it as a snacks pocket or potentially a sunglass pouch. now, there are a lot of straps to hang stuff onto the backpack, even ones around the water bottle pocket to keep things secured, and you can tighten them to make the backpack more compact if needed. btw i suggest yall to remove the hip straps as it makes a bunch of straps hang and just looks messy.i think it looks kinda stylish and i like how it looks, the color is nice and i like the waterproofness and how it just looks like a good backpack.in conclusion,i think that this is honestly a solid option for anyone in school who wants a good backpack with a lot of functionality. it’s well made and has some fleece lined interiors, and very good zips that won’t break on you. it’s weatherproof and breathable and looks pretty good in my opinion. overall this is a good choice for highschool and college, and i recommend this backpack.

Loved the quality! The price is right! Very comfortable! Last for years! My son used for school for 2 years!

This back back was a gift for my fiancé and he loved the space it offers. Great for traveling

Will be great for carrying to Europe with carry-on instead of a large suitcase!

The bag has held up great besides the zipper covers which fell off in a few months. The style is great with plenty of room for supplys.

Love this bag. I’ve used it for work, travel and general purposes. Extremely functional.

Great product, excellent quality!
